Expeditors reviews

Old school mindset rampant (business professional clothing required daily, sit in a cube despite most meetings being held virtually, taking sick/paternity is seen as "undedicated" and will hurt promotion chances, open misogyny, awful comments made about female peers' appearances/political rants/questioning women on their family planning despite strong performance and dedication). There is no HR dept. They have open door policy- but your managers are likely to have 10-20yrs tenure and are usually the source of the open hostility. Good old boys club: screaming in multiple departments, passive aggressive condescension. Ileft after realizing that they like it like this- the last bastion where openly conservative, angry good old boys can thrive in Seattle. On their public financial statements, there are material weaknesses. Global trade is likely not thriving under the next 4 yrs of tariffs and/or instability. I would steer clear unless you like wearing a suit and sitting in a cubicle daily, hearing some of the most egregious remarks not tolerated in polite society. This place has stale air and an aura of defeat and decline. I stayed for the longest time thinking if I just "kept my head down" I would be valued for my contributions (thinking "maybe this is just what corporate life is like") but left once a 4x longer-tenured senior manager left for similar reasons. This is not "snowflake," this is "escape hostile work environment before your health declines further." I got the offer for the new job the day I took the annual mandatory anti-harassment training and realized 50% of the language had been used in the past few months alone. Reporting is a dead-end on their “anonymous” ethics line — reports go straight to your department’s chief executive for investigation, but the most aggressive mgmt members report directly to that exec for a decade plus… so instead of being demoralized and retaliated against, I left for a better offer at a better organization. I never even reported a single soul for anything thinking if I “proved” myself they would lighten up. Wrong — they double down and do not consider your humanity in their quest to blow off steam despite positive performance reviews. I regret staying silent and eventually realized I was violating my personal values by contributing my labor to such a place.

Favoritism - race bias gender bias, Age Discrimination - DM wanted older candidates because of “Maturity”. Double standards across the department, request work from home for medical and got the third degree over it. One employee moved away and was given work from home privileges to accommodate her instead of letting her go. Micromanagers and two faced upper leadership. Everything is fine so long as you do as they ask when they ask if you dare say NO you are no longer a good employee and you now get ignored and disrespected because of it. Towards the end I said no for the first time and they asked me to cut my 1 month notice early and said it was for the best interest to both parties all because I wouldn’t log in over the weekend and deal with my manager going at my throat about a task not being completed on a Friday with a skeleton crew during the holidays and after upper management completed ignored my cries for support before hand. They take “pride” in caring for the employees however I never truly felt like they did take care of us. It’s a job at this point merely a stepping stone for up coming talent to grow knowledge and move to a better company that will value and grow them. Don’t go here expecting to stay and move up. Recognition for some are celebrated within the branch while others go unnoticed. My 5 year pin came to me closer to my 6 year mark. Whereas others got a shout out on the open floor. I was in leadership and always went above and beyond. Worked overtime, late evenings and weekends, always got online when they requested support for my team and the department. They thanked me by asking me to end my notice early and didn’t even care to give me a thank you or goodbye. Luckily my team appreciated my time and did their own thing for me. They’ve all expressed deep concerns on what’s to come now that I’ve left and don’t expect to stay much longer. I hope I can help them move to a better work environment. New job is Hybrid and a much bigger pay increase for an entry lever position. Whereas I was stuck at Expeditors with no growth and minimal pay. Ask for an increase that aligns with market pay and they mention it’s entirely too much, well this is what you’ll continue to get. Disgruntled employees that leave after a short period for much better pay and a better working environment.
